Product information "Shimano Sahara 500 FJ"

Shimano
Sahara 500 FJ

This reel will blow you away!

The Sahara FJ spinning reel range combines a modern design with many of the best Shimano technologies. Suitable for a wide range of freshwater and coastal fishing techniques, this mid-priced reel offers solid performance and lasting versatility.

At first glance, the Sahara clearly seems capable of fulfilling the Shimano promise. The classic look and the many technical features almost seem to contradict its affordable price.

The reel has a black housing with golden accents. In addition, it operates smoothly and quietly, with an easy-to-start drag. On top of that, fish can be tired out by back reeling without using the drag, thanks to the option to deactivate the anti-reverse. Also, due to the variety of models, the Sahara elevates the mid-range segment in the fixed spool reel sector to a new, impressive level.

The first thing you notice in use are its smooth operation, stability, and the crank-Power. Features that become particularly apparent when you have a big fish on the line.
